Show HN: We're building a set of API's to help web developers

• evv 13y ago
  This quiet "Show HN" reaction is probably because you haven't actually shown anything. You don't even need to make your product generally available. If hoist is a set of API's, why aren't they publicly documented? I'm glad you have a nice terms of service [0] section and a big user registration counter, [1], but I recommend starting with a product demo, maybe in a video.

    Thanks for your reply. You're 100% right and we're pretty aware of the lack of content out there right now, ie the lack of documentation (job listing plug!) but we're also interested in first impressions. I guess I'm getting back to work to give you something to see!

      Initial thoughts: "I know as much now about the app/company as I did before I clicked the link." "WTF is this? What's it do?" "Why did I waste my time clicking on that?"
